NCCASA is happy to announce our training listserv! Participation is completely voluntary and will not replace NCCASA’s member mailing or other forms of communication NCCASA uses. This listserv is designed to share NCCASA’s trainings as well as trainings offered by member programs, allied professionals, and national organizations on topics of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, stalking and human trafficking.

This hands-on training is intended for people at the beginning stages of implementing prevention programming or those that have some experience, but need some more guidance. Attendees will learn the basics of primary prevention, discuss what research suggests causes sexual violence, learn about the evidence-based and innovative models for prevention programming, and create an action plan for beginning implementation in their communities. In addition, we will provide information on how NCCASA can help local member agencies develop prevention programming.

This training will be conducted by JP Przewoznik, NCCASA’s Director of Prevention and Evaluation.

The training will be from 9:00am – 4:30pm with registration from 8:45am – 9:00am. There will be an hour break for lunch on your own. Please note that breakfast, coffee, lunch, and snacks are not provided. This training is free for NCCASA members and $10.00 for non-members.

Wednesday 3/28Healing from Multiple Traumas: LGBT People of Color and Sexual Violence with guest trainers In Our Own Voices
9:00am – 4:30pm
in Greensboro

The NCCASA Training Institute is honored to have guest trainers from In Our Own Voices, Gabby Santos, Director of LGBT Health Services, and Kathy Grant, Social Worker, provide this training. The goal of the training is to address the multiple issues that impact LGBT POC who are also survivors of sexual violence.

Social and Institutional disparities contribute to the overall well-being of LGBT people of color (POC). Advocates who work in various roles have the power to change these conditions by providing trauma informed and culturally relevant services. This training will address how oppression and historical trauma impacts LGBT POC survivors of sexual violence. Facilitators will share examples of the effects of racism, homophobia and transphobia, as well as engage participants on culturally relevant interventions to eliminate stigma and empower the health and well-being of LGBT communities of color.

Objectives:

To learn how oppression and historical trauma impact LGBT POC.

To identify barriers that exist for LGBT POC survivors of sexual violence.

To learn the importance of cultural considerations when working with LGBT POC.

To gain promising practices and considerations in working with LGBT survivors of color.

The training will be from 9:00am – 4:30pm with registration from 8:30am – 9:00am. Light snacks and lunch will be provided! This training open to current NCCASA members only. Participants will be provided with the training address after registering.

Over the past six months, sexual violence has been prevalent in the media and public discussion in ways that we haven’t seen before. We’ve been hearing from you, our members, questions about what we do now, how we can talk about #MeToo in our communities, and how we can leverage this moment to make real change for survivors and in our culture. At this Member Meeting, we will come together to talk and plan about what we can do together and individually in this time of #MeToo.

At the same time, we know that each of you continues the day-to-day hard work of serving survivors, raising awareness, and doing prevention work locally. At this Member Meeting, we will discuss and share ideas about some of the concrete challenges that you face in doing that work, and we will talk about ways to take care of ourselves and each other as we do it. Finally, to make sure that we are doing everything we can to support your work, we will also share with you what NCCASA has coming up in 2018 and have opportunities for you to let us know what else you would like to see from us.

The Member Meeting will be from 9:00am – 3:00pm with registration from 8:30am – 9:00am. Light snacks and lunch will be provided! This training open to current NCCASA members only. Participants will be provided with the training address after registering.
